Former Memphis quarterback Taylor Reed is transferring to Arkansas to play for the Razorbacks, he said via his Twitter account.

Reed, a native of El Dorado, Ark., who started nine games in 2011 as a true freshman for the Tigers, wrote: “It’s Official. I’ll be an Arkansas Razorback next year!”

Contacted by the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, Reed, a 6-foot-3 left-hander, said he would enroll next month at Arkansas. He visited the school earlier this month and met coach John L. Smith, the newspaper reported.

The school has yet to confirm that Reed will be a part of the Razorbacks team this year. The Commercial-Appeal wrote that Reed would likely be a walk-on at Arkansas, at least for this season. His father, Scott, played quarterback at Arkansas in the early 1980s.

After participating in spring drills at Memphis, Reed asked to be released from his scholarship to pursue transfer options. He informed new coach Justin Fuente of his desire to leave after spring practice, during which he shared time at the position with Texas Tech transfer Jacob Karam.

Williams started in 2010 as a true freshman in former Tigers coach Larry Porter's first season and transferred to Miami after his freshman season. Summerlin started two games last fall, but left after the season and transferred to FCS member Samford.
